OctoMom.....Fess up, Who's Watching?

[heimlichfan]

I can't lie... I watched it in bits and pieces.

What a trainwreck. Why the heck were all the babies rolling around with those balls at the end?

[Vallie]

i watched. those poor poor children. i cant believe the thing about the mom in the trunk of her car.. that was just INSANE! who does that?! and thinks its funny!!

 

[MIGrandma]

I didn't watch it, and was wishing not one single person would.

Arrggg..I did, what a mess. I am SO SAD for those children, she is ill and not capable of taking care of them. I don't think a well person could do it.

I wish she would put them up for adoption to loving families, but you know that will never happen. Did you hear the Dad? He said he would never allow that.

The mother is the only one that tells her like it is and doesn't feed into her fantasy world and of course she doesn't want to hear it.

I fear when those babies are mobile. Combined with the aggressive older children it's just an accident waiting to happen.

I don't want to boost ratings - the woman doesn't need a series...

Yes, she did, and she was LAUGHING about it! The whole story was that her mom feeds feral animals and would have OM go with her at night. She told her mom she was going to get sprayed b/c there were skunks. This time mom did get sprayed and OM did not want to ride in the car with her and told her she would only ride in the car if mom was in the trunk. SO mom gets in the trunk and pulls the lid down slightly. OM slamsthe trunk and then drives wildly on purpose and her mom rolls around the trunk. She was imitating her mom's voice when her mom was calling and screaming to her. THen she said she slammed on the brake and pretended she had a wreck!

I know she was a teenager at the time, and we all have stories of things we did without really thinking, but she is recounting this NOW on national tv and laughing about it. Her mom has supported her for years and this is how she repays her!

I watched, but would not watch a series. Her older kids are violent to her, the camera people and the other kids. One of her 2 year old was hitting and sitting on the babies. I think her oldest is 7, and she already has no control over the kids. I can't imagine what they will be like as teens.

She did make cracks about Kate from JK8, how she looks better than her and will never get a tummy tuck. How she is not attention seeking like some moms. I hate to tell her, but rude as Kate may be, her kids seem to be much better behaved and better taken care of than OM's. And JK8's have a dad in their lives, which I think is part of the way OM's kids act.

Anyway, I hope they paid her a lot, because they really made her look bad. Don't know how she's paying the bills for 8 babies plus the 6 others, with a new house with renovations, nice car, strollers for 8 and all that.

I saw the very end as the credits were rolling. I had my TV on the channel it was on! My eyes were burning.

So I saw about 20 seconds of babies crying on the floor. It made me sad.

I don't watch any kid raising shows, period. I have enough with my real live kids.

 

[inaminute]

I draw the line at "The Bachelor." That's as trashy as my tastes get.

My reality shows are Biggest Loser, Top Model, Tim Gunn's show, and Top Chef.

Me, too. That woman craves the attention and I refuse to give her any. Well, except for this post. I won't watch anything that earns money for her.

 

[Eeyore'sthebest]

I was going to put it on but DD9 was in the room and I figured she didn't need to see that. We put on America's Funniest Videos instead. Sounds like I made the right decision.

This woman sounds like a nut job. I hope this show brings Child Services back into her life.

I was flipping channels and caught the very last part of it......where they had all the babies lined up on the floor surrounded by the indoor playground hard plastic balls. I think it said they were 19 weeks old. They were all just screaming away. She goes down the line and is picking each on up to introduce them........I was horrified. She was just grabbing them by the upper arms pulling them, not supporting their heads at all and their poor little heads were just falling backwards. I think multiples and preemies are a little behind on muscle tone & control anyway and this was just BAD!!!!!!! Has no one ever shown this woman how to correctly pick up a baby and support it's head?????? She did this all the way down the line - on about #7 she said "I'm sweating". After the last baby she kind of pushes the plastic balls in around closer to them and they are all still just screaming away.

They didn't even appear like they could roll over or reach and grab the balls.......didn't get the whole point of that. Those babies weren't able to play with those balls. SO VERY SAD FOR THOSE POOR BABIES!!!!!!

I didn't even know she had a show..

She probably figures she can use her kids to make a living - get a series out of it like someone else we all know..

Won't be watching.. However, I am waiting for the return of "Housewives Of Orange County" - LOL..

 

[Vallie]

She doesnt have a series or anything, I think it was just a one time special about her on Fox. If she does get a show from it, I definitly wont be watching because she is one crazy woman

 

[ORMom2Four]

She is a mess. The kids are a mess. The 2yo calling her "B**ch" as he hit her. The older kids hitting her too. I noticed a few of the boys, even the 8 year old, trying to hit either the camera person or the camera in anger. Her story of locking her mom in the trunk & driving so that she banged around screaming. (and she was laughing about how funny it was) OMG, those kids need to be help now if they have any hope of a future.

The babies will only know a series of babysitters who will come and go on a regular basis. I fear they will end up with attachment issues.

It is very sad.

Ugh. This woman and her family needs some serious prayer, as much as I believe that she deserves what she gets, what she did was unethcial, although I supose praying for them is the right thing to do.

 

[legalsea]

I will not watch any show that exploits children: not this octopus mom, or John and Kate, or that new show coming out where the parents exploit six children.

I mean, growing up my best friend was one of ten children. A poor family (his father sold law books, the wife stayed at home), yet very happy together. Yet why would anyone care to see them on television? If you want to look at children playing go to the park or the zoo (or, best of all, to Walt Disney World).

 

[wdwmom0f3]

I didn't watch it nor do I plan to. That woman needs so serious help and if her situation does not prove it, the story about her mom in the trunk should. She must have mental problems. I just hope that DHR was watching the show.
